Riley reported that the money is sitting idle because the law says it must be directed through a non-profit group. But for reasons unknown, the state hasn't been able to coordinate with the non-profit.

That non-profit group even lost its tax exempt status in 2011 for failing to file reports with the federal government.

As you can imagine, the situation isn't sitting well with cancer survivors and researchers, some of whom didn't even know there were funds supposedly available to them through taxpayer donations.
